REVENUE GENERATING INTELLIGENT SYSTEM
Provided is a parking reservation method including monitoring a parking area, via a sensor, to (i) determine movement within the parking area and (ii) produce movement data representative of the movement. The method also includes analyzing the movement data, via a processor, to create a user alert and transmitting the alert to a user external device.
1 . A parking reservation method comprising:
monitoring a parking area, via a sensor, to (i) determine movement within the parking area and (ii) produce movement data representative of the movement;
analyzing the movement data, via a processor, to create a user alert; and
transmitting the alert to a user external device.
2 . The parking reservation method of claim 1 , further comprising:
alerting an end user of the data point;
reserving the defined area using the external device; and
generating revenue from the reservation of the defined area.
3 . The parking reservation method of claim 1 , wherein the movement data is transmitted to the processor via a network.
4 . The parking reservation method of claim 1 , wherein another sensor monitors movement in another parking area.
5 . The parking reservation method of claim 4 , wherein the sensor and the other sensor are integrated together.
6 . The parking reservation method of claim 5 , wherein the sensor and the other sensor are configured to respectively monitor the parking area and the other parking area, substantially simultaneously.
7 . The parking reservation method of claim 1 , wherein the movement data is associated with revenue generation.
8 . A computer readable media storing instructions wherein said instructions when executed are configured to perform a method for managing a parking area, comprising:
monitoring the parking area, via a sensor, to (i) determine movement within the parking area and (ii) produce movement data representative of the movement;
analyzing the movement data, via a processor, to create a user alert.
9 . The computer readable media of claim 8 , further comprising:
alerting an end user of the data point;
reserving the defined area using the external device; and
generating revenue from the reservation of the defined area.
10 . The computer readable media of claim 9 , wherein the movement data is transmitted to the processor via a network.
11 . The computer readable media of claim 10 , wherein another sensor monitors movement in another parking area.
12 . The computer readable media of claim 11 , wherein the sensor and the other sensor are integrated together.
13 . The computer readable media of claim 8 , wherein the sensor monitors for abandoned shopping carts and the user alert transmits the abandonment to the user external device.
14 . The computer readable media of claim 8 , wherein the sensor monitors for hit and run accidents, while the sensor records the accident.
15 . The computer readable media of claim 14 , wherein the recording is stored in the user external device.
16 . The computer readable media of claim 8 , wherein the sensor monitors for snow accumulation and black ice and the user alert transmits the accumulation to the user external device.
17 . A parking reservation system, comprising:
a sensor configured to (i) detect status data responsive to an identified parking area and (ii) transmit the status data;
a processor configured to analyze the transmitted status data to produce an alert;
an external device system configured to communicate the alert to a user.
18 . A geography-based reservation method comprising:
monitoring a designated geographic area, via a sensor, to (i) determine movement within the geographic area and (ii) produce movement data representative of the movement;
analyzing the movement data, via a processor, to create a user alert; and
transmitting the alert to a user external device.
